Anyone else seen this? > (BTW, I don't use the hptraid module) I have gotten the same thing on several *totally* heterogeneous cooker systems (a Pentium 200, a Thunderbird, an IBM PC300PL with a PII-400, a dual-PIII 750 system, and a couple others--all different motherboard manufactures, hard drives from different places, some IDE, some SCSI, etc) here for various versions of cooker. I actually get 40's instead of 91's, but otherwise, exactly the same: if I boot into rescue mode, rerun lilo, it fixes it permenantly 100% of the time. On the other hand, this happens every once in a while after an install, but I can't regularly reproduce it at will. -- Wesley J.
